Yes, John, these kitties have been raised around whirring clicking black boxes from day One, and seem pretty immune to them now.

And, emcee, our kitties have not visited the vet since August (plus, Human Growth Hormone might give them opposable thumbs, and then we’d really be in trouble). This is entirely genetic. Leo has grown into one of the larger kitties (short of a Maine Coon) that I’ve known. And at 9 months old, I’m not sure he’s done yet.
